Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fungi kingdom includes a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms able to produce a vast array of chemically diverse natural products known as secondary metabolites; these are crucial from a biotechnological point of view, and include antibiotics, immunosuppressants, pigments and mycotoxins, among others.
This Special Issue of Journal of Fungi invites researchers to contribute research articles, reviews, and opinions addressing relevant topics related to fungal secondary metabolism, including, but not limited to, the genetic analysis of biosynthetic gene clusters, the intra- and extracellular transport of secondary metabolites, regulatory circuits and transcription factors, epigenetic regulation, bioinformatics and genome mining, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, the isolation and structural elucidation of novel fungal secondary metabolites, bioactivity assessment of pure natural products from fungi, and fungal metabolomics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Fungi is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
